The information requested in respect of direct funding from my Department's Vote is set out in the following table. Local authorities and related bodies also receive funding from my Department based on the delivery of a range of functions in the areas of housing, planning, water, community and other local government-related activities. The levels of funding for 2017 are not available in the format requested as many are based on the fulfilment of certain requirements prior to payment of grant funding. It could, however, be expected that most local authorities will receive significant funding in 2017, particularly in relation to housing.
